Born May 22, 1936, in Perpignan, he pursued advanced study in mathematics and philosophy, earning the Doctorat d’État in mathematics from the University of Paris and a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Perpignan Via Domitia. Marty’s work brought mathematical inquiry and the study of signs together.
He created a website devoted to the works of Charles Sanders Peirce, making the philosopher’s writings a focus of his scholarly activity. In 1997, he founded Semiocom, a group concerned with semiotics, and he was also a member of the Centre international de recherche et d’études transdisciplinaires. His published books included L’algèbre des signes (1990), La USAP de Perpinyà, la força del rugbi català (1998) and Conflits des générations (2010). The titles span the study of signs, rugby in Perpignan and generational conflict, reflecting the range of subjects represented in his publications. His career combined academic work in two disciplines with initiatives devoted to semiotics.
